The world is filled with mentally ill people and the psychiatric/medical community is incompetent, and in America, too many people can't even afford it. Every single child in America today is being raised with immense trauma. Find me one teen who isn't depressed. Back in the 90's boomers used to scoff at us "How can you possibly be depressed? You're a teen." And today it's like "Of course you're depressed! You're a teen!"

So saying trans people are mentally ill, they need help is pointless. There are millions of people who need mental help and none of them are getting it. Trans people are trying to self-medicate by transing themselves because thanks to social contagion and word-of-mouth and internet disease, they have been convinced that transitioning will cure them and solve all their problems (not all of them are delusional like this but too many of them are) this is why the suicide rate doesn't change after transition. Many of the dudes who get bottom surgery end up killing themselves. And I'm not even talking about the autogynephiles and other porn-sick trans-impostors, I'm just talking about the ones with dysphoria.

Yes, they need help 100% and the help they need does exist, but there are such few doctors/therapists out there capable of sitting down and helping and it's really all about being in the right place at the right time with the right doctor. Especially now that so many doctors are terrified of rocking the boat. They are not even allowed to question trans people anymore, they must immediately affirm. That is bullshit.

What is the solution to this problem? There has to be a radical change in the system from the top down all the way to the roots. And will this happen? No.

So in the meantime we have to coexist with these people and do our damndest to get laws passed that at least protect children below age 18 from getting railroaded into a lifetime of medical dependency.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer.
